Nago Pineapple Park

Small theme park about pineapples

Pineapples have been cultivated on Okinawa as an agricultural product for around a century. However, due to the arrival of lower priced pineapples from overseas, the industry has suffered in recent decades. As a result, some farms are now promoting the fruit as a tourist attraction. The Nago Pineapple Park (ナゴパイナップルパーク), a small, enjoyable theme park about pineapples, is a result of such promotion efforts.

The admission ticket to the park includes a ride on an automatic vehicle through pineapple fields and a tropical garden, and an adjacent souvenir shop that affords visitors the chance to sample pineapple products. Among the various products are pineapple wines, juices, cakes, chocolates, as well as dried and fresh pineapple. During certain times of the year, it is also possible to observe how pineapples are peeled, cut and canned in a small factory on site.

The Nago Pineapple Park is located just outside downtown Nago City on the Motobu Peninsula in northern Okinawa Honto, about 75 km from Naha.

By car

By car, take the Okinawa Expressway from Naha all the way to its northern end near Nago (around 1000 yen one way) and then follow regular roads to the Pineapple Park. In total, the journey takes about 90-120 minutes one way (more during rush hours).
